Having revealed the complex workings of the three
guṇas
, Shree Krishna now shows the simple solution for breaking out of their bondage. All the living entities in the world are under the grip of the three
guṇas
, and hence the
guṇas
are the active agents in all the works being done in the world. But the Supreme Lord is beyond them. Therefore, he is called
tri-guṇātīt
(transcendental to the modes of material nature). Similarly, all the attributes of God—his names, forms, virtues, pastimes, abodes, saints—are also
tri-guṇātīt
.
If we attach our mind to any personality or object within the realm of the three
guṇas
, it results in increasing their corresponding color on our mind and intellect. However, if we attach our mind to the divine realm, it transcends the
guṇas
and becomes divine. Those who understand this principle start loosening their relationship with worldly objects and people, and strengthening it, through
bhakti
, with God and the Guru. This enables them to transcend the three
guṇas
, and attain the divine nature of God. This is further elaborated in verse 14.26.
